Their task, ultimately, is to find and dispose of the giant.

The whip that cracks across his shoulders tells him otherwise. Transported across time and space he soon discovers the madness of another world where pirates – especially the Jackal (and is he all he makes out to be?) – run the show and other mysterious beings add to the insanity that runs riot in the Place of Shades (or should it be called by its proper name The Place of the Dead!). Discovering Arthur has been sent there, Merlin and Salazar, with time running out, seek to find an entry into this world to not only save both young men but capture the Treasure before their evil adversary gets to it first!

But where is Merlin? It’s said he’s gone mad and wanders the forests babbling uncontrollably, but no-one can be sure as he’s completely disappeared. Arthur is fighting in the North and things look bad enough anyway – but then Rhianne is taken! Price £7.99

The only thing that can save them all is the powerful sword Excalibur – unless Mab gets to it first! Price £7.99
